I was so happy while drawing this. A good gag gave me great expressions to work with as I built up to the punch line. Not only did I enjoy the process here, but I was getting back at my mother and all the teachers who told me to “get down to business and hit the books.” This strip was a cleansing experience.
Other examples of those who succeeded without college include Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. (Of course, Steve ended up dying because he refused his doctor’s advice to treat the rare curable type of pancreatic cancer he had, but a college education would not have cured him of his big ego…)
